201 Fruit orienting device US735511 1996-10-23 US5855270A 1999-01-05 James A. Throop; Daniel J. Aneshansley; Bruce L. Upchurch
A fruit or other produce orienting device, particularly suited for orienting apples, orients a piece of fruit with its stem axis horizontal so that it can undergo quality inspections. The device employs a cylindrical drive roller which engages the fruit on one side, and causes it to rotate, and a pair of freely rotating orienting rollers which engage the fruit across from the drive roller, and cause the fruit to achieve the desired orientation as it rotates. The first orienting roller is cone shaped with a tapered flat or concave surface so that it will steer the fruit toward the second, opposing roller, which has a thin disk shaped portion with a front surface that engages the fruit. The front surface of the disk shaped portion tends to align itself with the flat edge of the fruit at its stem or calyx end, and this causes the rotating fruit to be oriented quickly with its stem axis parallel to the roller axes, and then maintains the fruit in the correct orientation once it is achieved.

206 Method for processing avocados US772161 1985-09-03 US4629629A 1986-12-16 Constant V. David
A method and an apparatus for processing ripe avocados in which the pulp is separated from the outer skin and from the seed in sequenced operations. The pulp can then be reduced to a paste-like product and frozen for easy preservation, handling and marketing. The avocado pulp does not acquire its consistency and reach its oil content until the fruit has ripened to a stage where the pulp is soft. At this stage, a few days are available to process the avocado before it spoils. The ripening process occurs naturally after the fruit has been picked off the tree, providing it is left undisturbed with the seed and the skin untouched. Otherwise, no ripening takes place. Because the external surface of a ripe avocado is so soft and because its seed is so hard, the extraction of the edible and tasty pulp is difficult to perform with automatically operating machinery. Such machinery and the attendant method are the subject of the present disclosure. The ripe avocado is firmly held by means of its seed while the skin and the pulp are removed automatically.
207 Method for preparing potato shells US690630 1985-01-11 US4615893A 1986-10-07 Richard D. Fogerson
Apparatus and process for recovering the skins from baked potato parts and for recovering the potato meat that is scooped out of potato shells. Cupped shaped molds arranged to firmly hold potato halves in tray assemblies positioned at predetermined space points are attached to a conveyor that rotates about a first stationary drum. Cutter units form part of knife assemblies which are on the outer periphery of an opposed parallel rotating drum which assemblies are positioned at predetermined spaced locations corresponding to that of the cup shaped molds on the first stationary drum. The location of the molds and knives and their movement around the axis of their respective drums are synchronized so that when they are at the points at which they are closest during their movement about the axis of the respective drums the meat can be scooped from the potato by the knives to prepare the potato skins and the extracted meat can be recovered.

218 Method and apparatus for cutting nonuniform articles into uniform pieces US3796146D 1971-10-19 US3796146A 1974-03-12 LACEY E
Nonuniform articles, such as potatoes, are cut into uniform pieces by subjecting the articles to a centrifugal force for orienting each article along its longitudinal axis, transferring tangentially each oriented article to a conveyor defining a conveying path for forming a single row of articles moving in a conveying direction and oriented with their longitudinal axes parallel to the conveying path, feeding the single row of articles past a plurality of measuring stations, measuring a longitudinal length for each article passing a measuring station, removing from the conveyor each article having a longitudinal length greater than a length predetermined for the respective measuring station, and cutting each article into uniform pieces. Apparatus for performing the method has a cylindrical wall defining an opening for the transfer of the articles to the conveyor and a cone-shaped disc mounted for rotation and arranged within the cylindrical wall for supplying the centrifugal force. A plurality of sensing devices is used to measure the length of the passing articles, and a plurality of associated plungers is provided to remove the articles from the conveyor and move the articles into a cutting assembly. The sensing devices are arranged in the conveying direction to remove articles having progressively shorter longitudinal lengths.
219 Conveyor with rocking units to roll round articles US3774746D 1971-04-08 US3774746A 1973-11-27 PADDOCK P
Round articles are rolled in stages by a series of conveyor units arranged edge to edge that rock about axes perpendicular to the direction of travel. The conveyor units are rocked synchronously between rearward and forward positions and the conveyor units are formed with seats adjacent their back edges to receive new articles on each cycle. A given round article that rolls onto the seat of a conveyor unit when the unit is in its rearward position rolls forward on the unit as the unit rocks to its forward position. Then as the unit rocks back to its rearward article-receiving position, the given article is boosted onto the seat of the next forward conveyor unit. Thus, normally all of the articles on the conveyor advance by one conveyor unit on each cycle.
220 Live roller conveyor for discrete articles such as fruit US3651922D 1969-10-10 US3651922A 1972-03-28 ROSS JOHN M; WHITE WARREN V
A live roller conveyor for discrete articles of varying size and shape, such as fruit, has two sets of laterally spaced resiliently compliant or spongy feed rollers which are arranged and staggered in uniform spaced relation to define an intervening essentially continuous article passage of generally serpentine configuration, the rollers being driven in rotary directions to feed the articles in one direction through the passage. The conveyor rollers may be used to lower articles from a high level to a low level or to raise the articles from a low level. The conveyor rollers may also be combined with heating means and blower means to function as a dryer for washed articles.
